LSGA CHAMPIONS INCLUSION WITH LEADERSHIP CUP

No fewer than 180 golfers participated in the just-concluded Leadership Cup of The Lagos Golf Experience, organised by the Lagos State Golf Association at the golf section of Ikoyi Club 1938.

The event combined golf, leadership, networking and social impact, with one of its major highlights being the Leadership Golf Clinic, which introduced 20 prominent leaders and professionals to the sport.

The participants included permanent secretaries in the Lagos State Government and senior executives from the financial services and capital market sectors.

The opening ceremony featured a ceremonial leadership tee-off performed by Princess Damilola Sunayon, who represented Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.

Also supporting the initiative was the Group Managing Director of Abuja Investment Company Limited, Maureen Tamuno, who presented a special golf accessories prize to the best golfer in the Queens of the Greens category.

The prize presentation and gala dinner attracted dignitaries from the corporate, political, social and sporting communities.

The Lagos State Golf Association said the initiative is part of efforts to encourage greater participation in golf, particularly among women aged 18 and above, children and young people.

Through programmes such as The Lagos Golf Experience, Leadership Golf Clinic and Queens of the Greens, the association aims to position golf beyond competition and use it as a platform for leadership development, mentorship, inclusion, networking and community building.

The Lagos State Golf Association is chaired by Deji Johnson, while public relations and human resources practitioner Kemi Olowoyo-Otegbade serves as vice-chairman.
